I’d say with enough trees and rope, a crowd could quite EASILY decide all the EUcrats’ fate…Think it will be against EU regulations to hang more than one bureaucrat on a tree?

If anyone needs another confirmation that the European Union is fundamentally the most anti-democratic entity currently in existence, then the following statement by European Parliament Martin Schultz should put all confusion to rest.
Schulz: "The British have violated the rules. It is not the EU philosophy that the crowd can decide its fate".

Confused: Here is what Deutsche Bank said earlier today:
The shockwaves and consequences around Brexit will resonate for years. It's probably an understatement to say that most in financial markets regret the UK's decision to leave but we should respect the forces that have been pushing us towards what has always been an inevitable political accident sometime soon. I wasn't sure whether the Brexit vote was the one but I was pretty convinced one was coming and this is probably not the last. Spain yesterday started a general election cycle (more below but relatively market friendly) of the largest 5 euro-area economies (Spain, Holland, France, Germany and Italy) over the next 18 months or so, not forgetting the US this November. Throw in the crucial senate reform vote in Italy in October and you've got plenty of opportunity for rebellion against the establishment that haven't managed to produce satisfactory enough growth for the lower paid/lower skilled to offset the forces of globalisation and immigration.
It's worth looking at the voting split in the UK's EU referendum based on polls compiled by Lord Ashcroft to get an idea of the disenfranchisement. In terms of socio-economic groups, 57% of ABs (upper/middle class - professional/managers etc) voted remain, 49% of C1s (lower middle class - supervisory/clerical or junior management/administrative), 36% of C2s (skilled working class) and 36% of DEs (Ds - semi & unskilled manual workers. Es - casual/lowest grade worker or state pensioner). So there's no escaping the fact that this is a class war. Whether its globalisation, immigration, inequality, poor economic growth or a combination of all of them it's quite clear from this and other anti-establishment movements that the status quo can't last in a democracy. Eventually you'll have a reaction. This is one such major reaction and given that the UK growth rate has been ok of late, it would be strange if pressure didn't continue to build elsewhere where growth has been lower for longer.
It is indeed a class war, and the European "Union" is not used to losing...
(Title shortened)
A riot is an ugly thing...
Based on some of the EU invective being bandied about in the Brexit aftermath, it would appear to some that Hitler did indeed succeed in at least a couple of his goals.
So those who chose “Leave” are roughly equivalent to blue collar voters in US?
As far as I know, they are indeed.
“So those who chose “Leave” are roughly equivalent to blue collar voters in US?”.........
You know, the ones that pay the bills.
And we thought Naziism was dead...
I’d say with enough trees and rope, a crowd could quite EASILY decide all the EUcrats’ fate. . .
Lying jerk...
youre not imperial dictator over Britain..
the British people didn’t even get to vote for you as “president”..
You don’t get to “decide the fate” of the free British people...
The “crowd” in Britain didn’t try to “decide the fate” of the EU...
They decided for their own individual country...
and I am PROUD of them for doing so..
I was born British and I’m 1/4 English through my Ipswich grandfather and they voted on my behalf...
THANK YOU, BRITAIN !!!
The US/North American Union overlords appear to have the same playbook.
Mr. niteowl77
DAS REICH UBER ALLIS!
It is not the EU philosophy that the crowd be given pitchforks.
“the British people didn’t even get to vote for you as “president”..”
The EU-crats set up a wonderful system for themselves. Once put in a position they didn’t have to fight to maintain it. They weren’t responsible for anything to anyone. They started regulating everything from British tea pots (no kidding) to daily life. They were so anonymous, I read that out of 100 people polled only one could name a single EU bureaucrat.

Short and sweet: FUEU.
“The People’s opinions have no bearing on what we, the RULERS decide to do.”
Will, Kristol, and the GOPe think it’s true in the US too.
They started regulating everything from British tea pots

They, their children or grandchildren will rue that decision, when they will lose their power as minorities. The minorities will not be as accommodating.
